The BathyCopter is ideally suited for generating profiles of inland water bodies. The roboust and reliable platform design of RIEGL's remotely piloted RiCOPTER now integrates the new RIEGL BDF-1, a compact and lightweight bathymetric depth finder comprising a tilt compensation, an IMU/GNSS unit with antenna, a control unit and up to two external digital cameras. The BDF-1 can optionally be equipped with a miniVUX-1UAV LiDAR sensor.

The new RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV is a user-friendly and cost-efficient device to acquire survey-grade measurement data by use of remotely piloted helicopters and unmanned aircrafts for a variety of applications. Based on RIEGL‘s sophisticated waveform processing LiDAR technology, the RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV provides high-speed data acquisition using echo signal digitization and online waveform processing. Its excellent multiple-target capability enables achieving superior measurement results even under adverse atmospheric conditions. The 360° field of view allows data acquisition of the entire surroundings, a well designed housing supports mounting even under limited weight and space conditions.

The new RIEGL miniVUX-1DL is a sister device to the miniature UAV laser scanner RIEGL miniVUX-1UAV. The added indicator "DL" means "downward-looking" and refers to its special design tailored to meet the needs of corridor mapping tasks (downward-looking, optimized field of view, small size). Thus, the RIEGL miniVUX-1DL is perfectly suited for tasks such as powerline and pipeline surveillance, or for infrastructure inspection as in highway or railway monitoring.

The RiCOPTER is equipped with the RIEGL VUX-SYS, comprising the VUX-1 LiDAR sensor, a IMU/GNSS unit, a control unit, and up to four high-resolution cameras. This allows for acquisition of high-accuracy, high-resolution laser scan and image data,

The RIEGL VUX-SYS is a complete miniaturized airborne laser scanning system solution of low weight and compact size for flexible use in UAS/UAV/RPAS, helicopter, gyrocopter and ultra-light aircraft installations. The system is comprised from the RIEGL VUX-1 airborne laser scanner, an IMU/GNSS system, a control unit and up to 4 optional cameras.

The new, extra high performance M-Type of the RiCOPTER is a multi-purpose octocopter for professional UAV missions in highly sensitive areas and situations of limited access.The robust and reliable multi-sensor carrying UAV platform offers a MTOM (Maximum Take-Off Mass) of 30 kg and an exceptional payload capability of up to 10 kg. The RiCOPTER-M is equipped with special aviation safety features and ADS-B/Mode-S transponder. RiCopterControl (RiCC), a redundant flight control system developed by RIEGL, offers several multiple control interfaces and trigger options. Straight-forward integration and control of complex multi-sensor systems allows for acquiring of comprehensive information in one single mission.

For years, RIEGL Airborne Laser Scanners have been successfully used in high-end unmanned airborne platforms. For this new instrument, physical limitations of small UAS/UAV/RPAS have been taken into account, thus providing a perfectly suited, compactly dimensioned and lightweight instrument of unrivaled performance.
